  Hi,
  
  I am trying to create a report that has a bullet point at the beginning of a line using a TextBox control and can’t seem to get it working, I don’t want to have to use the formatted text control as this is html based. Any Idea?
  
  Regards
  
  Shaun

  Hi Shaun,

  You may use the scripts section of RDLX/Page Reports to add a custom method to format your textbox contents based on your requirements.

  You may read more about scripts here: Scripts

  We hope this helps!

  Hi Shaun,

  Another approach you could try is using a Unicode bullet character (•) in your TextBox control. Simply prepend it to your text, like this:

  ="• " & Fields!YourField.Value

  This way, you can avoid using HTML formatting while still achieving the bullet point effect. Let me know if this works for you!

  Best,
